PS-15 500 Column Insulator

Insulators are specialized insulation components that play a crucial role in overhead transmission lines. In earlier years, insulators were commonly used on utility poles. Over time, they evolved to include many disk-shaped insulating bodies at the ends of tall, high-voltage transmission towers. These are designed to increase the creepage distance. Typically made of glass or ceramic, they are referred to as insulators. Insulators should not fail due to various mechanical and electrical stresses caused by changes in environmental and electrical load conditions, otherwise, they would not serve their significant purpose and could damage the entire line's usage and operational lifespan.
